Firm certification qualifications
Certification is earned by individuals, not the firm, and certified users may take their certification with them if they change firms.
If a certified user is removed from a firm’s Console account and no other Console users are certified, the certification will be deactivated and removed automatically from the Console. The firm should also remove BILL Certified logos from its marketing materials.
To regain certification, the firm should select another Console user to complete the certification course. Contact us at training@hq.bill.com to discuss the transfer process.
